Sorry bout the shitty pics, dropped my phone in the Nute bucket 2 weeks ago so using old backup phone. I see a Google Pixel 6a in my future. Can anyone give any insight or have any experience with it?.

That's probably my next phone even though I hate Google, I hate apple more so?. My friend has it and from what I've seen him do with pictures and editing, that's all I need it for.

For what I do with a cell phone which is mostly growing apps such as Ac Infinity, Govee, Inkbird, Feed Timers etc plus all the regular bs social apps and wanting to take kickass pics I think this is the phone for me. Thanks for the input.

I gave some thought and looked around at stand alone cameras but now a days for me it's just not practical and another thing to have around.

Six months it took me to figure out where I fk'd up with my grow. I almost packed it in thus why I've not posted much of anything in a while. I believe we have turned the corner.

PSA
DO NOT RINSE/WASH COCO COIR WITH TAP WATER!!! Even though I buffered or thought I did, it was not enuff to fix all the crap I had allowed into the coco using TAP. This caused huge pH issues and severe Sulfur/Iron lockouts. I had always used RO water which you should but last fall I tried to save some money on RO filters useing TAP water to rinse/wash the coco. This caused me 6 months of grief before I figured it out. The worst part is I knew not to but I did it anyways, yep...I'm dummer than a box of rocks.

I'm getting my 4 x 4 up and running again. In the meantime I have my 2 x 3 x 5 tent full up...here's some shots PXL_20230629_224755075.jpg

Twenty20's Made of Honor is a fav and grows easy every time. She likes to get up in the clouds tho.

Beautiful is a rather weak description of that Gorilla Sniffer. Do favor us with a smoke report when the time comes please.

It's been a while as I totally forgot about this. Honestly I'm not your guy for smoke reports but here goes...

Twenty20 Mendocino "Glue Sniffer"

I am getting a peppery minty aftertaste when being consumed through my Pax 3 Vape. Firing up a bowl a with lighter, I get zero flavors.

Real good buzz, feel up, focused to where you have to give your head a lil shake to remember your high just focused on whatever you may be doing at the time.

Quality smoke with lasting buzz, still hits hard after several weeks of smoking. I have never grown nor smoked Gorilla Glue so I have no idea how it compares.

Hope this helps man! I have not been disappointed by anything Twenty20 in the photo selection that I have grown and have lots more to pop yet.

5 years ago today I went to the hospital so sick with severe Alcoholic Cirrohsis, I was down to approx 10% of functioning liver per the MRI and was at the end of the rope with my alcohol addiction, it was either...

QUIT or DIE

They gave me until December, somehow I made it with an awesome Doc I found that would not give up on me when all others wouldn't even see me due to my condition. Ya, fuck those guys and their Hippocratic Oath....they lied....

So YAY ME...

5 years, 0 alcohol

Thanks guys, I figured some could relate here...I get zero recognition from any of my family or close friends ever for overcoming the liquor monster...really makes me wonder who gives a f*ck anymore or why I fought so hard not to go out like that...I just say nothing and move on...sorry, rant over

I'm off to the hydro shop for some Worm Castings, I need to make some soil for keeping a few Mom's, trying to keep Mom's using salts makes the stems woody & tough for rooting...

For YOU.
And that's a big deal.

Recognition, appreciation, all that stuff is nice, but you saved your own life. That's something to be so proud of, regardless of whether or not anyone else celebrates it.

The reward is all the extra years of life, of being able to look at yourself in the mirror and to hold your head high when you walk down the street, it's all the money you save and all the useful stuff you can do with that money, it's cutting negative people and situations out of your life, and on and on.


I can say that because I did my own version.
I drank hard, I smoked a pack or two of cigarettes a day, I was almost 300 lbs. I had gout and diverticulitis and other issues that a young man should not have had.

I'm coming up on 2 decades without cigs, over 10 years without booze, and I lost and kept off almost 100 pounds.
Nobody else gives a shit and I don't care about that. I'm happier and healthier than I've ever been and my relationship with my kid is fantastic. What else matters?

Great work brother, Glad you kicked the beast. I get similar reactions from most people in my world. I didn't quit for them, so F 'Em! The drinkers don't want to admit that they too, may have a problem. Let's face it, being around drunks is only enjoyable if your drunk too. No more for me, my health is so much better now too!
Keep it up brother, you've got support right here!

Getting in an update as been way too long.

All my Coco grows this past year have really struggled to build any roots and slows things to a crawl. Anyways we're into Week 1 Flower after an 8+ week veg. Even then I don't have a full 8 plants in Coco in the 4 x 4. Instead I had to add a couple soil plants that need to flower and remove those who didn't want to play. Hope things go well as I could really use a decent run.

Just got the auto feed hooked up and running for the last few days and it looks like the root system can handle it now so we're off to the races I suppose. I have changed Nutes to the Floraflex line. Also running Stout MSA Si & CalMag, in front and Mr. Fulvic & Drip Clean on the back end of mixing. Very nice clean mix.

Screenshot_20231009-093543.png

I picked up the starter kit as it's the cheapest deal and a great way to not spend boo coos but try these nutes, less than $70 usd. I think I can get a few runs out of this as I am only running the lighter feed schedule @ 1.2ec for Veg & 1.4ec for Bloom. No complaints really except there is enough foliar mix to last a couple lifetimes lol.

I have 8 strains in here, hopefully a few bangers.

A few weeks under 12/12 and everything should start showing what they're all about.
I've contemplated adding some trellis netting but I think I'm a bit late. What do you think? Add it anyway? I have both 4" & 6"?? Thinking 6" if I do for some help later on.

The Pure Michigan F4 & The Cube x Romulan are up front in each corner in soil. More about soil plants in next post.
